Sketching Out His Past

Fort Washington Ave.,
Manhattan One-bedroom
apartment
(1920s)
This building was located
near Fort Washington
Park, which was a
great place to play.
On Saturdays I could
walk from it to the Loews
theater on 175th Street
and Broadway. They had
a matinee there, with a
man named Lou (I forget
his last name), who played
a huge organ before the
movie started. That was
a big treat for us kids.
